Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Qiuhong heard what the doctor said to her husband that day. It would take three to six months. Even if a miracle happened, it would not take more than a year.

Although she was very unwilling, Qiuhong felt relieved. After such a hard and tiring life, it would be good to die early. Maybe in the next life she could be reborn into a wealthy family and live a good life!

"Mom, you will get better!" Luo Ping's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.

Luo Zhong held his head and cried, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. He sobbed silently like a woman, which made the captain very angry.

What a useless thing, even more cowardly than a woman. It's such a waste of such a good girl like Qiuhong!

The atmosphere in the yard became sad and heavy, with sobbing sounds. Xia Qingqing broke the sadness and said with a smile, "I haven't finished yet. Aunt Qiu Hong's illness is indeed serious, and it's a bit difficult to cure it completely, but I can let her live a few more years, maybe three years, or five, six, eight, or ten years. The length of time depends on the people around you."

"Can you really cure it? Tell me, how should we do it?"

Luo Zhong suddenly jumped up and grabbed Xia Qingqing excitedly and asked.

Luo Ping also looked at her with hope, as if he was looking at a savior.

Qiuhong looked calm, as if she was discussing someone else's business.

The captain was panic-stricken and wanted to drag Xia Qingqing back home. The dead girl was bragging without any fear of spraining her tongue. Even the doctors in the municipal hospital couldn't cure her. Where did this dead girl get the confidence to brag?

Xia Qingqing said calmly, "I've said before that there are three reasons why Aunt Qiu Hong got sick. One is overwork, two is malnutrition, and three is being bullied too much. As long as she stops working too hard, keeps her nutrition, and is in a good mood, and takes my medicine, she will definitely get better. So, how many years Aunt Qiu Hong can live depends entirely on you and your son!"

"I can do it. From now on, I won't let Qiuhong work, and I won't let her suffer. She can eat meat every day!"

Luo Zhong excitedly assured that at worst he would not return to his hometown and would take his wife to live in the city.

"I can definitely do it. If anyone makes my mother angry again, I will fight her to the death!" Luo Ping said gritting his teeth.

He only hated that he was too young to protect his mother. Now that he has grown up, no one can bully his mother anymore.

Qiuhong turned her back and wiped her eyes. Her son was the only thing she was reluctant to part with. She couldn't leave behind such a good son!

Xia Qingqing looked slightly sarcastic and said bluntly: "It's easy to say, if you do a good job, Aunt Qiuhong won't be sick!"

Luo Zhong was filled with shame and lowered his head, too embarrassed to refute.

Luo Ping did the same, both father and son lowered their heads.

"Xiaoping has been protecting me since he was ten years old. Thanks to him, I have had a good life for several years." Qiuhong defended her son and stretched out her skinny hand to gently pat her son's hand.

"Mom, you must get better. When I make a lot of money, I will marry a filial wife and give you a big fat grandson."

Luo Ping hugged his mother and cried. The young man cried like a three-year-old child.

Xia Qingqing's mouth twitched. Is he trying to tire his mother to death?

But for a rural woman like Qiuhong, finding a wife for her son and giving birth to a big fat grandson is probably what she thinks is the most complete and happy life, right?

Just like the mission in life, only when it is completed successfully can it be considered complete. If any one of them is missing, it will not be complete.

Xia Qingqing also noticed that Qiuhong was disappointed with her husband, but was reluctant to leave her son. If it was true as she said, Luo Ping was not bad. At least he knew how to protect his mother, which was much better than his father.

She gave Qiuhong an injection and had to go back to get some medicine.

After acupuncture, Qiuhong fell into a deep sleep and her complexion looked better. Luo Zhong and his son immediately felt relieved.

Since she fell ill, Qiuhong has never slept soundly and always wakes up from pain. It has been a long time since she slept as soundly as she does now.

Originally, the father and son doubted Xia Qingqing's medical skills, but now they are convinced.

"You need acupuncture regularly. It's not convenient for you to live here. It's better to move to the city." Xia Qingqing suggested.

"Doctor Xia, where do you live? Let's rent a house near your home." Luo Ping asked smartly.

"The rent where I live is too expensive. Don't you and your son know how to sew? Go to the factory and operate a sewing machine first, just like everyone else. The more you do, the more you earn. The dormitory conditions in the factory are not very good. You can rent a house near the factory. The rent is not expensive, and you can also cook your own nutritious meals."

Xia Qingqing was amused. This Luo Ping was much smarter than his father. He would consider setting up an underwear factory after examining the true level of the father and son.

She will definitely not miss out on the lucrative underwear industry. As the economy gets better and better, many women are taking better care of their bodies and have higher and higher requirements for underwear.

A small piece of underwear can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, and many women still flock to it.

Originally, Xia Qingqing had not thought about opening an underwear factory until Luo Ping and his son reminded her of it. If the father and son really had good skills, she would definitely open this underwear factory.

"Thank you, we will definitely do our best."

The grateful father and son thanked him repeatedly. Luo Zhong even went into the house to get a stack of money and said embarrassedly, "This is one thousand yuan. It's for Qiuhong's medicine. I know it's not enough. Xiaoping and I will go to work in the future. Just give us some living expenses, and the rest will be used as medicine expenses. Is that ok?"

He had spent a lot of the two thousand yuan he got from the family business on medical treatment and medicine, and he had to keep some for living in the city, so he could only take out one thousand yuan.

Xia Qingqing refused. "My medicine is really precious. You can't afford it now. So, when we get to the city, you can make me a set of underwear. You must use your best craftsmanship. If the underwear is comfortable for me to wear, it will pay for the medicine!"

"We make the clothes, but you have to take the money. We can't let you lose money!"

Luo Zhong felt that he was being taken advantage of and insisted on paying.

In the end, it was the captain who persuaded him to take back the money and said that he would do his best to make underwear for Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing left her phone number and asked Luo Ping and his son to call her after they came into the city.

It was already past four in the afternoon. Xia Qingqing went to the back mountain to find Xiaoyu and Xiao Yingyue, the captain's grandchildren, and a few children from the village. She took them to the back mountain to play, and they had a great time.

"Sister, let's have bamboo shoots for dinner!"

Xiaoyu ran over happily, holding a spring bamboo shoot weighing more than ten pounds. His body and face were covered with dead leaves and mud, turning him into a harlequin monkey.

"Didn't you eat enough at noon?"

Xia Qingqing took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, but after just a few wipes, the handkerchief became black. She had to give up and go home to wash it.

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously. The braised bamboo shoots at noon were delicious, and the pickled pork with preserved vegetables was also delicious. He wanted to eat more in the evening.

"Then we'll make bamboo shoots to eat in the evening."

Xia Qingqing agreed and went to dig up a few ivory bamboo shoots. This kind of bamboo shoots are the most delicious when used to make braised bamboo shoots in oil. They are tender and fresh, and delicious and go well with rice.

Youba bamboo shoots

Ivory Bamboo Shoots

Spring bamboo shoots are used to make pickled pork with preserved vegetables.

When they returned to the city, it was already dark. After dinner, Xia Qingqing was going back to her room to get her medicine when the phone rang.

"Excuse me, is this Xia Qingqing's house?"

The voice on the other end was that of a strange woman, and her tone was cautious.
